Well here we go again! Sally decided it would be a good idea to continue the voyage rather than wait around here for the part to be returned Sooo that's what we're going to do. We'll leave here tomorrow morning and hopefully be in Ireland or Norway sometime within the next three weeks so until then byby.

A quick up date before we go out to a concert here in Beautifull windy rainy downtown Bonavista NF. We arrived here Thurs evening after having to divert as Sally  had gotten very sick with what turned out to be the flu. so far I've been able to stave it off by copius drams of a local elixer. Seems to work anyway. We left St. Pierre and sailed to Fortune NF to clear back into Canada and had to wait for two days to see a Customs officer. No hastles. Then we went off to Burin in the fog and had a very nice vist with the Dunfords Left there last Sunday for Ireland in the fog and very little wind. so motored and consumed much needed fuel. Sally was on watch when we pass Cape Race in the Fog. The wind she started to blow from the S/W and we were making very good time heading N/E in the...FOG alinka1 was trimmed to perfection and we didn't have to touch a sail for 3 days. Sally not getting any better so decided to head to Bonivista as the closest point. Chanded course to the W in the #@#$%^%$#@#$ FOG. and after about 7 hours we popped out into a Brilliant Blue Sky and Sea Day!!! with a Humptyback doing Barrell rolls back flips Tail standing flipper waving one at a time and both together for about a 1/2 hour. And then the porpoises came out to Play. This is what the ocean sailing should be all about. Arrived here in Bonavista a 10 pm local time tied up to the floating dock had a vist from the Harbour Master and off to bed. Fri afternoon Jon Dunford and Elford arrived on the Burin Bay'r on their way to Lewisport. Then a gale blew in so here we are. More later.
